ness.
DR.. G. B. Adams, agent of the Connecticut
Humane society, last Friday made answer
in an evening paper to certain unsavory re-
marks before legislative hearing about him

defending Mics Foster and her baby farm.
It is proposed by the agents of the society
to so alter the law that IN the future unde-
sirable children can no longer be placed in
baby farms for few weeks, during which
their board is paid ard then left to the mercy
of the town authorities by parents glad to
finally relinquish responsibility for their Off
spring. This is what Attorney Hotchkiss
